Locafy Limited is sharpening its competitive edge with a newly launched suite of AI-powered SEO solutions, aimed at helping businesses stay visible not just in traditional search engines, but also across the emerging frontier of AI search tools and digital marketplaces.

The FY26 product line, now commercially available after months of real-world testing, represents Locafy’s biggest push yet to integrate artificial intelligence across its publishing and search optimization tools.

“We’ve delivered on the roadmap we announced in late 2024,” said CEO Gavin Burnett. “Our platform now influences rankings in both traditional search and the next generation of AI-powered discovery engines.”

The New SEO Battleground: Search, AI, and Marketplaces

Locafy’s approach acknowledges a fundamental shift in the search landscape: visibility is no longer just about Google SERPs. As conversational AI platforms and e-commerce search tools grow in sophistication and market influence, SEO must evolve beyond keywords and backlinks.

That’s exactly what Locafy is offering. The company's AI capabilities automatically generate AI-search-ready landing pages, helping businesses appear in conversational AI results, local map packs, and niche directories—often with minimal manual input.

“We’ve automated landing page creation optimized for AI tools,” Burnett said. “That opens a greenfield monetization opportunity, especially across the millions of listings we manage.”

63M Listings and Counting: Locafy’s Local SEO Empire

Locafy’s power play rests on three pillars:

  1. Online Business Listings

  2. Local SEO

  3. AI-Powered Engagement Tools

At the core is a massive database of 63 million business listings, including over 40 million across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UK. The company publishes more than 28 million listings on behalf of partners, creating potential joint monetization streams via its SEO platform.

The flagship offering, Localizer, bundles together:

  • Listing syndication

  • Google Map Pack optimization

  • Review management

  • AI-powered SEO tuning

“There’s no other product offering this range of features at our price point,” Burnett noted, pointing to a $690/month starting package. “The automation we’ve added recently lets businesses get top-tier SEO value at SMB-friendly pricing.”

Enter the AI Voice Concierge

Locafy’s newest innovation goes beyond visibility—it’s about AI-powered customer engagement.

Their Voice Concierge, a virtual receptionist and support agent rolled into one, acts like a 24/7 digital team member. Feed it documents, and it learns the business. It can answer questions, take bookings, and even log transcripts of all interactions for transparency.

“This felt like science fiction not long ago,” Burnett said. “Now, it’s a low-cost reality for businesses adapting to an AI-driven future.”

Strategic Focus: AI Search Over National SEO

While Locafy continues to support national SEO and e-commerce campaigns, its strategic priority has shifted toward the AI search segment, where automation, scalability, and differentiation offer stronger upside.

The company sees this shift as its clearest path to growth in FY2026—especially as AI platforms become default entry points for users seeking businesses, services, and local recommendations.

Locafy isn’t just reacting to the AI shift—it’s betting on it. With automated tools for AI search optimization, voice-enabled engagement, and millions of structured listings, the company has positioned itself as a utility layer for the next generation of search discovery.

 

For businesses looking to survive and thrive in an AI-first internet, Locafy’s FY26 suite might be the most pragmatic place to start.
